FIVE STAR REVIEWS

GoWaiter was created to provide hungry consumers with the ability to order the food they want, from the local restaurants they want and have it delivered to them at their home, office or hotel for less than $5 and within an average of 45 to 55 minutes. By providing a variety of prepared meal choices along with the convenience of delivery, we bring a better quality of life to everyone we touch.

Unlike any scavenger hunt you’ve ever played. This Halloween scavenger hunt is a fun combination of a scavenger hunt, treasure hunt, and murder mystery kit (minus the murder and the complicated scripts). Teams are formed and they must work together to find the hidden clues and figure out how to banish the evil witch. Players may think they have found a clue and actually pick up a curse (they are hidden along with the clues). If a player picks up a curse they must act out the funny curses until another member from their team finds the spell to reverse it. This game is so easy to set up and will make for a very memorable and fun Halloween party. Best for ages 8 and up. Fun for teens and adults too!

Pro: I’m a game lover and this is probably the best I’ve seen. It’s creative, engaging and really makes for a very special and spooky evening. It’s also rated-G which means a lot to me as a mom. It encourages imagination with many of the participants wanting to try to write a game like this for themselves.

Cons: I have no cons for this game.

Storyland Yoga is a fun-filled adventure that infuses children with an eco-conscious message. Two unique stories, “Save the Whale” and “Condor Trek” engage a child’s imagination through storytelling. Kid’s learn yoga postures by becoming part of the story and imitating animals. Yoga is great exercise and helps to calm children giving them greater focus and increased clarity. Storyland Yoga is equally fun for parents and family members who can benefit from yoga, while enjoying ‘organic time’ with their children.

Pros: This is an excellent way to introduce children to the benefits of yoga for physical and mental comfort. I highly recommend this dvd for parents and grandparents to give to their children and grandchildren. Do the poses along with the!

Cons: I love this! No cons

CycleBeads is a color-coded string of beads that represents the days of a woman’s cycle and helps her use a natural family planning method called the Standard Days Method®. This family planning method is designed for women with cycles between 26 and 32 days long. ( According to data from the World Health Organization, approximately 80% of cycles are in the 26-32 day range.)

I remember when I got my period, I didn’t understand the “cycle” or what it meant. This is such a great learning tool and a terrific gift for a young girl or woman. It even offers an iPhone app!

Pro: This product really empowers women and young girls to understand their cycle. It offers tips for planning and preventing pregnancy. It’s an exceptional product that is decades overdue!

Honibe Honey Drop – The Honey Drop™ is made with 100% all natural, pure dried Honibe™ honey. No additives. No artificial flavor. We also offer a Honey Drop™ with lemon. This is made with 100% all natural, pure dried Honibe™ honey and pure lemon oil.

The Honey Drop™ solves a common problem: liquid honey can be messy. The Honey Drop™ is an individual serving (one teaspoon / 5 g.) of 100% pure Prince Edward Island dried white clover honey (contains no additives / preservatives or binding agents). All of the natural honey flavor without any of the mess. Simply stir into your favorite hot beverage and enjoy!

The best part about reviewing items is my introduction to so many products that I would not normally know about or perhaps consider. Honibe’s The Honey Drop™ will definitely be a staple in my pantry! Visit their website at Honibe.com

Pro: Each drop is encased in its own capsule so there is no mess. Just peel and drop it in your coffee or tea. I use it in my tea each night and it doesn’t really taste as much like honey as it adds just a hint of sweetness. I highly recommend this product. You can even carry them in your purse to use in restaurants.

Con: I don’t have any cons for this product.

The kit includes The Dot Girl Period Answer Book, which answers twenty common questions about menstruation including: How many days will I bleed? When will I get my first period? How do I track my period? What about cramps? What is a period anyway?

Included also are five feminine pads and five disposal bags, and the Dot Girl Warm Pad, a reusable gel heating pad that everyone loves so much for soothing cramps. Two hand wipes complete the kit ensuring girls that they’ll be prepared in any situation.

Started by two sisters, Kathy Pickus and Terri Goodwin, our goal at Dot Girl Products is that every girl has a positive first period experience and an empowered first step to womanhood. Our motivation to create The Dot Girl First Period Kit® grew from our own awkward teenage experiences. Despite the fact that our mother was a wonderful nurturer to four daughters, she was never comfortable talking to us about our bodies. Kathy vowed the first period experience would be different for her daughter, and thus was born the idea behind Dot Girl Products. DotGirlProducts.com

Pro: I cannot say enough about this wonderful kit. It’s not surprising that two sisters conceived of this comprehensive product which includes a booklet that answers important questions, pads, disposable bags and even a hot water pad! It is all perfectly contained in a round, pink case. I would not only recommend this, I plan to get some from my nieces and suggest them to moms.

Con: I do not have any cons for this product.

Go! Go! Sports Girls – 14″, plush, sports-themed dolls designed as a fun and educational way to promote self-appreciation and the benefits of daily exercise, healthy eating and sleeping habits, self-esteem and overall healthy life-skill for girls ages 3-12. The dolls are age appropriate and do not encourage an older or overly mature image.

The dolls have won many awards including the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Award 2009 and Dr. Toy’s 10 Best Socially Responsible Products 2010 to name a few.

Pro: My daughter LOVED this doll. She is a soccer player and received the soccer doll. Not only is it very well made, it is big – 14 inches long. The best part is that the doll focuses on building positive self-esteem. The doll comes with a tag that gives information about your doll – “Cassie is speedy and loves to score goals! Her favorite soccer position is right forward. Before playing, Cassie always puts on sunscreen and stretches. During the game she drinks plenty of water and at half-time she eats a healthy snack, like an apple. When Cassie is off the field, she likes playing board games and swimming.” I would absolutely recommend this doll highly.

Con: I have no cons for this wonderful girl’s toy. I was disappointed when my daughter, who loves Bratz, declared that maybe the Go! Go! Sports Doll should be prettier. Even at 11, girls are filled with images of the “perfect” girl. The dolls are beautiful and not filled with all the overdone makeup. Run out and get one of these dolls! If anything, do it to support what makes Girls’ Great. I can assure you, as I told my daughter, it isn’t makeup.

Pro: I loved ALL of the Udderly Smooth products – foot creme, hand creme, moisturizer, it went on smooth and it wasn’t greasy. I have very sensitive skin and it did not irritate it at all. I was very pleased.

PRO: I liked the smell and the all natural ingredients of these baby products. In fact, I have never liked the baby wipe smell of any brand. The size of the wipes was generous. The diaper rash ointment was also nice and didn’t have a strong overwhelming odor.

CON: No cons. I was not able to actually test the ointment for diaper rash, but since it had 100% zinc oxide in it, I would assume it would work well. Mainly, I like the light fragrance associated with these natural products and that they plant a tree for ever product they sell through Trees for the Future.

PRO: This was a huge hit with my daughter and her friends – pre-teens. Not only were they extremely easy to put on, they looked great. I think they would be a great gift for young girls, although I guess even young adult women would like them for going out at night.

CON: I don’t have any cons, other than I think they should be used for fun and dress up, not for going to school.

Decorative Ceiling Tiles

The tin tiles look good by themselves on a wall as decoration, or of course, as tiles for your ceiling. We thought a fun way that reviewers might be able to use the foam tiles is to use them as a craft project with their kids, coloring or whatever other craft you can come up with! We know you are a creative bunch.

PRO: I love this kind of decorating! These are lovely tiles that would brighten any ceiling or wall. The Styrofoam looks like it can also be painted very easily.

CON: If you have a popcorn ceiling, this may be too difficult to glue. It’s still a great option to enhance one side of a wall. I would ask about using it on a bathroom wall because of the moisture.

While I’m not a Beat Poem aficionado, I do love history and this book catapulted back to the 1950s and 1960s. I also love poetry and found I appreciated the art and craft. [FYI – ruth weiss refuses to capitalize her name as a protest].

CON: I don’t have any cons for this wonderful book.

Pro: The shampoo smells great and really puts volume into thin hair. It’s not harsh and, if it keeps lice away, I am all for it!

There are also several items in the line including styling gel, shampoo, leave-in detangler and a shield spry with citronella in it.

Smarty Had A Party has emerged as America’s coolest and most beloved online party store, specializing in exquisite elegant disposable dinnerware (yes, you heard right: elegant AND disposable!), offering an attractive alternative for classy parties, weddings, holidays and upscale events, at a substantial cost-savings over rentals. Although these dishes are sturdy, rigid and fancy enough to be used for an important event (and even reused, if you choose!), they are completely disposable, and all at reasonable price.

Pro: First of all, I hate to wash dishes! These plates are perfect for a special afternoon party, shower or kids party. They are so elegant and sophisticated, it’s actually difficult to consider them disposable and you almost feel like cleaning them up, then reusing them.

Con: You can’t reuse them:) I suppose you could, they are sturdy enough, but they are plastic as are the utensils.

Pro: I LOVE GAMES!! The best part about this pack is that the games range in age from small children to teens to adults. I had so much fun reviewing them, I can’t wait to play them on Christmas Eve! Think my husband and I can win the Newlywed Trivia game against his parents who have been married for nearly 50 years?!

There is no Christmas printable game like this anywhere else! Our Camel Race Bible Trivia Questions Game is a giant, printable board game which tests kids’ Bible knowledge as it entertains them. The printable “board” is nine squares (A4 paper sheets). A parent or other older person sets up the game and reads the trivia questions, or action cards, as they are drawn. Kids move ahead, stand still, or move back depending on their trivia knowledge.

Pro: Easy to set up, just download and cut out pieces. Great questions that were age appropriate for young children, making it VERY fun to learn the story about Christmas. If you have small children, you can use it every year for when each child is age appropriate. Great for a kids church program.

Con: Once the questions are done, the kids already know the answers so you can’t reuse, but you can pass it on.[Product review & giveaway disclosure: I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com.

Calendar, lists, contacts and more and a clear plastic zipper pouch for all the rest. If you want organization and you don’t use your digital options like me. This is the perfect gift.

Con: Everything you have is in one place. If you lose it, you’re in trouble. Of course, that can be said for any organizer.

Catch it, kick it, flip it and stick it! Do you review and blog about the latest toy crazes sweeping the nation? If so, then you’ll love the Myachi Original Hand Sack!

Myachi combines the fluid hand motions of martial arts with the old school fun of hacky sack. Simple enough for grade schoolers to get the hang of within minutes, the Myachi will also challenge the most skilled varsity athletes.

Pro: I remember kids using these when I was younger. It really takes a certain skill, one that I don’t have. It is well made and provides some great instruction. A great gift for a soccer or basketball athlete.

Con: Not a con, but it just wasn’t something I found myself using. The kids didn’t seem to connect either, but I would rather then use this than play video games. At least they are off the couch and moving!

Repechage
Hydra Refine® redefines oily skin care with a line of five products that balance your skin’s pH, controlling the production of oil while maintaining facial moisture. If you’re wondering how it’s possible to fight oil while keeping skin moisturized, the answer lies in the four main ingredients that define Hydra Refine®

PRO: I don’t want to discourage anyone from using this product and I do think you should try it, but I didn’t notice a difference on my skin when I used it. I do typically use heavier masks that dry my skin that I like much better.

Con: It just wasn’t for me, but I highly encourage people to look at other reviews.

“Cradle Rock” (http://www.cradlerockstore.com), a series of children’s lullaby albums produced and created by Brash Music and Tree Top Records, hit stores and digital distribution channels October 25th. Cradle Rock uses vibraphones, glockenspiels and mellotrons to turn iconic songs and albums by top artists such as Kenny Chesney and Johnny Cash into naptime-friendly listening material. With Cradle Rock, parents can introduce their children to some of the greatest albums ever recorded including the first ever urban album turned into lullabies, Michael Jackson’s Thriller (released 29 years ago November 30th).

Pro: Exposing kids to music at any age is positive. Cradle Rock takes some of the best loved music and has recorded it using unique instruments. Parents will love the music because they aren’t toddler tunes.Con: I just didn’t really like hearing this music as instrumental using vibraphones, glockenspiels and mellotrons. I am just not that sophisticated.

Ooh La La, How Fancy are these Eiffel Towers. Doesn’t it just make you think of Paris in the Spring. My little one just loves coloring the day away with her Fancy Crayons.

Pro: Lovely colors and the packaging is fun and festive. Great way to teach kids about the Eiffel Tower.

Con: They are smaller than I thought they would be., but the would be great for little fingers. Might look too tasty for under 3 year’s old.

Hand selected by the editors of Life & Style Magazine, these Angelina Jolie replica green earrings are simply breathtaking. Their lustrous emerald green hue will instantly add true Hollywood glamour to any wardrobe. Leave them all green with envy with these lovely Oscar inspired earrings.

Pro: I love costume jewelry! The bigger, the better. These are a pretty shade of green and I love the way they are set.

Con: I have long earlobes so the top hung a little too heavy. They look like big costume earrings, instead of ones that could possibly be real.[Product review & giveaway disclosure: I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com.

WondaWedge is an inflatable lounger designed by physiotherapists and offers superior back support for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Pro: I think this project should win some sort of cool invention award. The key is in the “tail” attachment that comfortably allows anyone to lean back without toppling over. It’s innovative with three different ways to use it. It’s comfortable and great for anyone who needs to comfortably lean back while located on a flat surface like the floor or a bed. It also durable.

Con: You have to blow it up. After years of blowing up kids toys, the thought of blowing up something else that I take to the beach is not so appealing. I used an electric pump and it inflated in seconds. [Product review & giveaway disclosure: I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com.

Reusable and Portable dental floss for people on-the-go or those who are unable to floss (or hate flossing). Great for people wearing braces or Invisalign. Credit card size carry-pouch included.

Pro: Well made. The flexible panel on the front goes easily through teeth and works very well.

Con: I did not feel comfortable reusing the Bryton Pick, but I’m a little more germophoic perhaps than most people. I have sensitive teeth so I didn’t like the aluminum against them.

SAND GONE is a dry body powder that, when applied to sand covered skin, removes the sand and leaves the skin soft and smooth while feeling fresh and clean.

Pro– The coconut fragrance was very nice. The powder didn’t clump and could be applied wet or dry. After use, it does make the skin feel smooth.

Con – Application was awkward. There was a buffing pillow, but I had to lay down the container, use the buffing pillow, pat the skin where the sand was and repeat on other parts of my body.

Hairfreé® – Used as a regular styling brush the ceramic coated plates are flush with the body of the brush. Used as a vent type brush the ceramic coated plates are positioned away from the body of the brush, about halfway up the length of the bristle. This position creates a “vent” between the plates and the body of the brush. The venting along with the ceramic coated plates speeds up the drying and styling your hair. Using hairfreé® as a vent brush also changes the length of the bristle. This in turn allows the user to either create a larger curl or add more fluff to ones hair.

Pro – On healthy wavy hair, brush did seem to dry hair faster and provide less pulling, which resulted in less hair pulled from the head and on the brush. The ceramic plates seemed like an interesting idea, but they did not seem to stay hot for too long. Very durable.

Con – On frizzy hair, the ceramic plates seemed to cause the hair to become even more frizzy. The large round brush and its plates were a little more difficult to incorporate, and might be better used for very long hair that is one length.[Product review & giveaway disclosure: I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com.
